MOTORCYCLISTS
WORKING HARD
PROMISE INTERESTING RACING
NEXT SUNDAY
COLISEUM TO BE SCENE OF SEV.
ERAL FAST EVENTS
Nine of Greatest Riders in Game Will
Compete with Each Other
and with Racing
Teams
If the UlthtMtaaaa and rivalry be
tween the riders bin anything to do
with the making of an interesting
program of motorcycle racing, next
Sunday's event at the Coliseum should
be the most Interesting: ever witnessed.
Yesterday tliero were nine of the
beet motorcyclists in the world prac
ticing and tuning up their machines
for tho races of March 6.
The riders are ull watching each
Other like hawks, and none will un
cover what he is capable of doing.
The managers of the racing teams are
■lilting in the grandstand each day
with a stop watch rftady to catch tha
time of tho first fast lap that one of
the riders should attempt to make.
('. I/. Smith, who Is agent for the
111 i k>'\ and who looks after the inter
est of the Merkel racing team, coin
• of Whittler, Mitchell and Ward,
caught Graves for one lap of the
track on his single-cylinder fottr-hor«e
power machine, his time being VJ 4 ■'
seconds, or about 48 seconds to the
mile, tha most remarkable tl/ue ever
heard of in the history of motorcycle
racing for a four-horse power >"a
chine.
(;.il Blalock. manager of the Indian
team, composed of Grave* and l.ingen
felder, Al Kherhart, manager of the
Thor team, v.-lth Charles (Fearless)
Balk* the principal of thiit team, and
uniy iiua>,'iie, manager <>f the it. s.
team, composed «f Bey more and Kit
tle, were all at the track jreeterday
with their stop watchea, each trying
to g»1 a line on what the other teams
were doing.
The principal attraction will be the
match race between F. K. Whittler
of Salt Lake and Kddle I,lngenfelder
of Loa Angelee, and should prove to
be tho greatest race ever seen, with
EJddle mounted on the Old Iteliable,
Which carried Jake Deßosler to many
a victory, and Whittler on the ilylng
Merkel.
No less interesting will be the open
professional race iii which Mitchell
will play an Important part, and would
not surprise the writer should he de
feat both LingenfeUler and Whittler
on account of the great showing he
made against Whittler in the 'half
hour race in which he competed a few
weeks ago. The tight in the fifteen
mile race between Beymore, Graves,
Balke, Kittle and Ward should be an
other thrilling event.
ASCOT PARK IN FINE
SHAPE FOR AUTO RACES
Individual Cars Get Daily Tryouts, and
Some Fast Time Is Ex.
pected to Be Made
Ascot track Is in the finest shape
possible, ami the Saturday and Sun
day races are. going to develop some
fast time. Individual cars are being
given tryouti daily, and It is more than
probable that ono or two dark horses
will develop, for the full list of entries
has not yet been announced. At least
two cars already entered will be sub
stituted from the same management.
The public will have a thoroughly
enjoyable time of it, as the makes of
cars are not of as much interest as
the speed that can be shown in the
respective classes, livery driver la well
known, several have international rep
utations, and It is a certainty that
each one will get overy second of speed
out of his machine that the engine is
capable of.
FLUID INCREASES POWER
Some remarkable milefigo is being
made by the use- of the new and pow
erful automobile fuel-autoiine, manu
factured by the United Oil refineries
of this city. W. D. Newerf, president
of tho company. Is dally receiving let
ters and personal commendation! of
the fluid that gives the machine more
power, greater mileage and absolutely
no carbon resultant from its use in
cylinders or spark plugs. In his own
case, a new "40" Buiek is making a
record of twenty-one miles to the gal»
lon and several local cars of private
owners are producing results equal to
this. Arrangements are being complet
ed for the delivery of the United I Hi
products from a warehouse in the cen
ter of the business district, where the
demand for Autoline may be supplied
at once, the six delivery wagons of the
refinery being unable to keep up with
the demand. This place will probably
be near the store of the W. D. Newerf
Rubber company.
LOS ANGELES HERALD: FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 4, 1910.
CARDINALS MUST
DO THEIR BEST
ONLY THIS WILL ENABLE THEM
TO WIN
SOUTHERN ATHLETES READY TO
FIGHT EVERY INCH
Track Meet Saturday Afternoon Prom.
ises to Be Hotly Contested
In Every Event of
the Card
Fourteen track . and field athletes,
representing the pick of the Stanford
i squad, will compete against the Uni
versity of Southern California track
men on Bovard Ilikl tomorrow after
noon. The northern squad will bo ac-
OOinpuitad on the trip by Trainer
Moulton and Manager Burbank.
Although this number of represen
tatives <>f the northern institution rep
resentl but a small percentage of the
entire truck squad of that college, it
in made up of tin: cream of the north
ern school ahtletes and the cardinal
■quad la relying on the number <>l
liists they expect to annex to win the
meet. With nome of Coach Cromwell's
crack! working at their best form,
Bueh as Troppe, Lennox, Richardson
and Trotter, the number of lusts cap
tured by the northerners may dwindle
to a losing score, as second and third
points, In a Hack meet, total strong in
the final totals.
Aecordlu to the arrangement of en
tries in the different events of the
northern squad, Tom Coleinan and
Siiiitherum will compete in the sprints.
Coleman recently covered the 220-yard
<lash In the fast time of H 1-5 sec
onds, which will win the event should
be repeat the performanc-j. Hut
Troope, under favorable circumstance!,
should press the northern entry in this
race, at the youngster, as yet, has not
been pressed to his best at this dis
tance and lie may prove a dark horse
when running side by side with such
a fast man us Coleman. In the century
<ia^h Troope lias an equal chance, from
the speed he hai shown in past per
uices, with either of the northern
entries.
Wyman, who first gained a reputa
tion as a 440-yard man at Santa Bar
bara, will be the cardinal entry in
that event and as he has covered the
distance In 50 seconds, he should have
no trouble in breaking the tape. Augus
Johnson of Colton is the northern In
| slitution's hope in the half-mile event,
I and as he has the reputation of ne
i sotlatlng the distance in two minutes
Bat, it :<eems that their hopes are well
, founded, as Gowtr, the I . S. C. repre
■ Bentatlve, is not any too strong in this
I event.
Cardinals Best at Distance
For the distance runs. Porter and
Newman will compete for the visitors.
The former covered the mile in four
mlnutei and four seconds recently and
Newman holds the intercollegiate rec
ord over the two-mils route of ten
minutes and nine seconds. There
serins to be no question us to the re
sult in these two events, still there is
the chance of a bad stomach and a
broken leg.
When it (onus to the hurdle stunt,
tin- 11. S. O. aggregation will have a
chance, to climb a few points on the
vlMtora, as Eugene Kern of Pasadena,
who will compete in these events for
the northerners, is none too strong and
it takes a strong hurdler to show his
heels to tfuoh ii climber as Lennox.
The IT. S. C should make a good fain
in this event.
Scott unfl.Bellah are the Vl&ltlng
pule vaulters and both are reported to
clear the bur close to twelve feet. With
Hichardson at his best, this match
should result in a pretty exhibition,
tvith chances equally divided as to the
final outcome. Kichardson figures in
this event from his performance in the
U. S. C.-Occidental meet, when he
cleared the bar at 11 feet and 9 1, a
inches, which set a new Southern Cali
fornia record.
Horine and Argabrite will do the
hlfh Jumping under the cardinal col
ors and both clear the bur at six feet.
As Walberg, who will represent the
local institution in this event, failed
to do better than five feet and eight
ane one-quarter inches, when com-'
peting against Wieman of Occidental,
it looks very much like another Hist
place for the Visitor*.
Stolz is the broad jumper with the
northerners and Is reported to make
the leap consistently around the twen
ty-one-foot notch, having oofered the
disitHiieo of twonty-one feet and ten
inches. Btoll, jumping in this form,
sshouUl have no trouble in defeating
Goodsell and Decius.
When it comes to the shot put, an
other hard struggle for supremacy
should result, as Morton, who will hurl
the shot for the cardinals, at his best
does by forty-four feet and Trotter
hurled the heavy pill thirty-three feet
and live and three-quarter inches when
competing siguinst Thompson of Occi
dental recently. Trotter is a good bet
in this event.
The hammer throw, according to the
dope of past performances of the con-
testants, will go to the northerners.
Woolley of the visitors having heaved
the weight 146 feet and anything close
to that mark ought to win from Rich
ardson and Comklaw.
Considering the numerous second
and third places that will go to the
local school, It looks very much like
a closely contested meet is in Htore for
I ho« who journey out to Bovard field
tomorrow afternoon.

Tho preferential ballot was the chief
subject of discussion by the charter re
vision commission at its session in the
council chamber" last night. This form
of ballot la a new idea in the United
States, but has been Incorporated into
the charter of Grand Junction, Colo.,
and has worked successfully in that
city
Senator J. W. Bucklin of Grand
Junction, Colo., who framed the charter
for that city, spoke to the charter com
mission last night on the commission
form of government and especially on
the preferential- ballot system. After
his speech he conducted a question
box and the commissioners kept him
on his feet nearly two and a half
hours, and in that time they gained
much information.
As explained by Senator Bucklin, the
preferential ballot is a primary nom
inating election and a secondary elec
tion all in one. If there are a number
of candidates the voter is allowed to
vote for first, second and third
choices and he can vote as many
third choices as he chooses, less one
of the number of candidates for the
office.
If there are six candidates for an
office the voter can vote first choice,
a second choice who must be other
than the first and then three third
choices who must be other than the
first and second choices. By this meth
od Senator Bucklin explained the voter
not only voted for those men he
wanted ) but, by casting third choices
for all men on the ticket but one he
voted against that one. and made his
vote doubly effective. If a voter con
sidered there were two candidates for
the office who were not fitted for it
he could cast first, second and two
third choices and thus vote against
two candidates. >'.'
r- In < determining the man elected to
the' place the s first choice votes were
counted. If any candidate had a ma
jority ;of all the votes cast for , first

choice he was declared elected. If
no candidate had a majority then the
second choice votes were added to tht
first and if a majority of all the vote ;
cast were then found for one eandi
date he was declared elected. If no
election followed the , second chc!~
ballots the third choice was added.
At the last election in Grand Ju
tion when this scheme was first tt
it was tho man who had the great
number of vote 3 with the third Chi
added who was elected mayor, or co
miialoner of public affairs, as he .
called there.
Grand Junction has the eommiss
form of government. Five commio
sioners are elected, but each commis
sioner is elected for one particular
commissionership and not all elected
in a bunch and then allowed to ap
portion the commissionershios among
themselves as is done in the Galvestou
and Dcs M lines plans. If there were
a number of people to elect to the
same office, such as five commission
ers or nine members of the council.
Senator Bucklin declared the prefer
ential system of voting would not
work so well.
